Captain Mike's got a few tricks up his sleeve, like using live bait to tempt those wary old drum or finessing a jig just right to entice a sheepshead. You'll pick up some new skills, whether it's reading the water, perfecting your cast, or learning the subtle art of setting the hook on a light bite.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the rock stars of Charleston's inshore scene. They'll test your drag in the deeper channels or give you heart-pounding sight fishing opportunities in the shallows. Fall is prime time when big bulls move into the harbor, but you can tangle with reds year-round here.

Speckled Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout, these slick predators are a blast on light tackle. They're known for their soft mouths and head-shaking jumps. Spring and fall are your best bets, with topwater action that'll have you grinning ear to ear.

Black Drum: The redfish's cousin, black drum, can grow to epic proportions. They love hanging around structure and will put up a stubborn fight. These guys have a sweet tooth for crabs and shrimp, making them a fun target when the bite is on.

Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are as cool-looking as they are challenging to catch. They're notorious bait stealers, earning the nickname "convict fish." Catching these crafty critters around pilings and oyster beds is a true test of an angler's finesse.

Black Sea Bass: While we're fishing inshore, don't be surprised if we hook into some feisty black sea bass. These structure-loving fish punch above their weight class and make for some mighty fine eating if you're looking to take home dinner.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Charleston's inshore waters are like a fish buffet, and every trip brings something new to the table. One day you might be battling bull reds in the harbor, the next you could be finessing trout out of a hidden creek. The diversity of species and fishing styles keeps things fresh and exciting. Plus, there's something special about fishing these historic waters, where pirates once roamed and Revolutionary War battles were fought. Now it's your turn to make some fishing history of your own.

More Than Just Fishing

Sure, we're here to catch fish, but a day on Charleston's waters is about more than just what's on the end of your line. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in the wake, ospreys diving for their lunch, or even the occasional manatee cruising by. The salt marshes we'll be fishing are some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet, and you'll get a front-row seat to all the action. Captain Mike's not just a fish-finder; he's a wealth of knowledge about the local ecology and history. Don't be shy about picking his brain between casts.

Gearing Up for Success

No need to stress about equipment – we've got you covered with top-notch rods, reels, and tackle. We use a mix of light and medium spinning gear, perfect for handling everything from speckled trout to chunky redfish. Live bait, artificial lures, we'll have it all on board. Just remember to bring some sunscreen, a hat, and maybe a light jacket. Charleston weather can be as changeable as the fish, so it's best to be prepared.

Time to Book Your Spot
